    Sample input

    Check my draft for r/webdev: "Check out my revolutionary new CSS framework! 🚀 Please star it on GitHub and let's dive into the features! I hope you guys love it."

    Sample output

    DEV POST REMOVAL CHECK — r/webdev [X] AI TELLS: "Revolutionary", "Let's dive in" - high risk of being flagged as spam. [X] VOTE MANIPULATION: "Please star it" - violates platform rules. [X] TITLE FORMAT: Too hype-heavy. FIX: Use a descriptive title and lead with a technical lesson or utility rather than a pitch.

    About This Skill

    What it does

    The Dev Post Removal Checker acts as an automated pre-submission gate for developer platforms like Hacker News, Reddit, Dev.to, and Lobsters. It analyzes your draft posts against common moderation triggers and community-specific norms to ensure your content isn't instantly deleted or downvoted into oblivion.

    Why use this skill

    Developer communities are notoriously protective of their space and often use automated bots or strict manual moderation to nukes posts that violate technicalities. Prompting a generic AI often results in "marketing-speak" that triggers community reflex-downvotes. This skill specifically hunts for the technical and social "tripwires" that human moderators look for: missing flairs, incorrect title formats for 'Show HN', self-promotion violations, and "AI-voice" tells like "Let's dive in" or excessive emojis.

    What the output looks like

    You receive a structured checklist identifying specific risks in your draft. It flags violations in categories such as:

    • Self-Promotion: Checking for required disclosures and "I built this" clarity.
    • Platform Mechanics: Validating title syntax (e.g., [Project Name] vs Show HN) and posting windows.
    • Tone Analysis: Identifying hype-cycles, superlatives, and marketing "tells."
    • Rule Compliance: Catching vote manipulation requests or inappropriate link types.

    Use Cases

    • Validate Show HN title syntax and link-post requirements
    • Identify "AI-speak" and marketing fluff that triggers dev community downvotes
    • Ensure self-promotion disclosures meet specific subreddit requirements
    • Catch prohibited vote-solicitation phrases before account penalties occur
